[quote=Anonymous]Depending on location, it could be cheaper than the US for things like hotels, restaurants and activities. I am talking about major cities like or Paris, which would be comparable to US.

We went to Austria for a vacation, managed to buy tickets relatively cheap (it wasn’t a peak travel season), and once we got there, kids under 12 travel free, most museum tickets also free for kids under 12, train tickets to see other cities were really cheap compared to US (and again either free or very reduced for kids), the hotel price was comparable. So on balance, the difference was not major even taking into account tickets.

If you compare to driving and camping, then yes, it’s much more expensive, but if compare to flying within the US and renting or staying at a hotel, then it’s pretty comparable (depending on destination).

So, if able to get tickets not too expensive or with points, then it can end up being cheaper than flying for example to California or renting a house at the beach in the US.

Also, many have family elsewhere, so travel back home and combine with a stop over on way there or back, or travel while in home country.
